Dhaka-Chittagong-Sylhet rail link restored

Update : 04 Dec 2014, 05:16 AM

Train communications on the Dhaka-Chittagong and Chittagong-Sylhet routes have been resumed after three hours.

Deputy Assistant Engineer of Laksam Noor Mohammad said the rail link was restored around 12:45pm.

The rail communications on these routes were suspended from Thursday morning following the derailment of a train near Jangalia area under the Sadar upazila.

Four wheels of a bogie of the Chittagong-bound Jalalabad Express from Sylhet veered off the tracks at Jangalia around 9:10am.

The accident snapped the train communications on Chittagong-Dhaka and Chittagong-Sylhet routes.

Dhaka-bound ‘Mahanagar Probhati Express’ from Chittagong got stranded at Laksam following the derailment.

A rescue train from Laksam reached Jangalia around 11am and started the salvage operation, said the official.
